Aldi is selling a stylish solar powered Marrakesh lantern for just £9.99

Landing in stores this Thursday, April 24, the stunning lantern comes in a choice of copper or gold.
The lantern is also solar powered so you won't need to worry about changing the batteries or charging it up
With cut-out detailing that throws out eye-catching shadows as the sun sets, it's set to be a must-have summer essential.
At just £9.99, it's the cheapest of its kind on the high street.
Rival stores including The Range and Robert Dyas are selling similar Marrakesh lanterns for £13.99 and £14.99.
Even Amazon, which offers Prime delivery, lists comparable models for £13.
But Aldi's version is only available in stores, so shoppers will need to head down to their local branch to grab one.
It's worth calling ahead, as stock is expected to fly off shelves.
It's also worth checking rival supermarkets and comparing prices to make sure you're getting the best value for money.
The lantern, which includes a white LED light, is part of Aldi's new Specialbuys garden range launching this week.
Aldi's Kitchen Revolution: Affordable Innovation
The range has already caused a stir online, with shoppers praising the supermarket for bringing back viral favourites including the Rattan Effect Corner Sofa, priced at £199.99, and the Marrakesh Bistro Set, available for £69.99.
As the warmer weather arrives, Aldi is helping customers prep their gardens without breaking the bank.
Other new additions include the Decorative Glass Table, £14.99, XL Outdoor Rug, £7.99, and Olive Planters, starting from £4.99.
For lighting up those summer nights, the Solar Water Fountain at £49.99 and the stylish Fire Bowl Globe, £59.99, are also back in stock.
And for those looking for a bigger glow-up, there's the Solar XL Penzance Lantern at £19.99 and the Solar Star Lantern, £7.99.
But it's the Solar Marrakesh Lantern that's grabbing the spotlight this week, adding an exotic ambience to garden tables or hanging spaces for less than a tenner.
As always with Aldi's Specialbuys, once they're gone, they're gone, so you'll have to act fast if you're hoping to snap one up.
How to compare prices to get the best deal
JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn't mean it's always a good deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that'll check prices for you - so don't be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Here are some that we recommend: Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results. Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock. Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one. CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.
How to save money at Aldi
If you're heading in store to snap up some garden bargains, we've also got some money-saving tips to reduce your shopping bill at the discount supermarket.
Firstly, you're going to want to keep an eye out for yellow stickers
Like other supermarkets, Aldi adds coloured stickers to products that are damaged or misshapen, or coming to the end of their best before date.
But, unlike other supermarkets, it uses red stickers instead of the typical yellow.
When reductions are made on products varies from branch to branch, but red stickers usually appear on items at the end of the day.
It's also worth opting for Aldi's own-brand products rather than branded ones and they're often much cheaper.
Aldi offers cheap fruit and veg as part of its Everyday Essentials range. for example, including discounted wonky bundles.
The trick, known as "downshifting", applies in other supermarkets too and can save you hundreds of pounds a year.
Keep an eye out for Aldi's Too Good to Go bags of fresh food too. They cost £3.30 and come with £10 worth of food inside.
You can pick them up in stores but there are only a limited amount each day. Find out more here.

I tested all the supermarket Champagne for under £20 – Aldi winner was £5 cheaper than Sainsbury's bubbly
WHEN it comes to popping the cork on a bottle of real French bubbly, don't think you have to splash out a fortune for a famous bottle brand. Some of the best fizz can be found on supermarket shelves for bargain prices. Aldi's Veuve Monsigny was voted the world's best champagne, despite costing just £14.95 a bottle. But it is not the only budget champers worth sipping. Wine expert Helena Nicklin samples what is on offer in the supermarkets for less than £20 and gives her verdicts. Veuve Monsigny Champagne Brut NV £14.95 Aldi THIS corker has been top of the pops among wine writers for ages, with plenty of us singing its praises. And following its triumph at the World Champagne Awards, that is now official. Key fizz grapes Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier are blended together to create these bubbles but the real surprise is the depth of those spiced brioche and baked apple flavours. A delicious flute that proves you don't have to spend a fortune on a famous name. You simply don't get better champagne bang for your buck than this. Stock up now for the summer, while you still can. 5/5 Wine expert taste tests the newest supermarket dupe of Whispering Angel Etienne Dumont Champagne Brut NV £14.95 Sainsbury's A FROTHY French fizz, this classic champagne blend is not a bad budget option to consider for less than 15 quid. In your flute, this will give you a little almond, a little green apple and a little toast flavour. It also has a satisfyingly deep colour. In the mouth, though, it's maybe just a tad weedy and thin, with bubbles that don't last as long as they could. But it's a perfect candidate for champagne cocktails and at this price, it works. A good standby supermarket-saver bottle or one to grab any time when you want real bubbly without a bonkers price tag. 2/5 Henri Cachet Champagne Brut NV £14.98 Asda ASDA's cheaper champers is a gentle, mid-way style that should keep everyone happy. Well below the price of a bottle of any famous branded fizz, this froth is soft and creamy. It is more about fresh pastry flavours than tart and tangy apple and has a lovely, almost vanilla-like aroma. Perhaps less complex than some fizzes at the same price. But that isn't a problem because it's still highly gluggable even when enjoyed alone. Perfect for parties, nicely chilled, or any special occasion where you would like to raise a glass of the real thing but don't fancy breaking the bank. 3/5 Comte de Senneval Champagne Brut NV £9.99, Lidl in store THESE bubbles have done well for Lidl, for good reason. And currently reduced from £13.99 to £9.99, they are a serious bargain. What you get here is not perhaps the poshest or most refined of French fizzes, with its savoury, clunky mineral notes and a whiff of something like cheese rind, but there's a lot of flavour there. And of course you are still popping the cork on a bottle of the real deal. For me, this is one to serve well chilled and sip with party canapés – or some nibbles and snacks if you are drinking at home, to soften it up a bit. A tasty tipple and great value for your hard-earned money. 3/5 Louis Delaunay Brut Champagne NV £15, Tesco HATS off to French fizz-maker Louis Delaunay and Tesco for managing to bring this in at such an affordable price. Super value for money, this delivers a proper champers experience, loaded with all the toasty apple goodness you could ever want. It's a lovely golden colour, too, so looks pretty in the glass. The only downside for me is a slight lack of freshness on the finish. Nothing a good chill can't sort out, though. Get this one nice and cold in the fridge before you pop the cork and celebrate what a bargain you've bought. Great as a present, too. 4/5 Pol Guyot Selection Champagne Brut NV £19, Sainsbury's I'M a big fan of this fizz, for just under 20 quid, and also love how the 'Pol' nods to the more glamorous and pricey Pol Roger brand for a luxe vibe. It's a proper bargain, which tastes more expensive than it is. Definitely a step up in superiority from those £15 club fizzes, for only an extra £4. Think plenty of apple flavour, with a bit of toast and butter for that exclusive feel. The finish on this sparkling treat packs a subtly bitter kick that might not be for everyone, so that's something to bear in mind. But this is a serious sipper for the price, nonetheless. 4/5 Louvel Fontaine Champagne Brut NV £18.48 Asda DON'T be fooled into thinking that because the bottle looks less fancy, the fizz inside may disappoint. Well-known names and glitzy labels are fine but it's the froth in your flute that counts – and this tipple seriously overdelivers for the price. Despite costing less than 20 quid, it stays crisp and fresh as you drink, while loaded with hazelnut, brioche and citrus flavour. It's a properly posh-seeming drink that will take you from aperitifs though canapés and even on to a main course, should you like. Great for parties, gifting, toasts, a night in or anything you fancy really. It's often on offer, too, so keep checking. A real off-the-radar gem. 5/5 Nicolas de Montbart Champagne Brut NV £13.99 Aldi ANOTHER French fizz from Aldi at a very affordable price. It's great that the supermarket chain has sourced a back-up champagne for when its prize-winning Veuve Monsigny dries up, and this is a decent drop. But the taste is just a little bit generic for my liking, and noticeably sweet. Think soft, bruised apples and a sprinkling of chopped almonds when you sip – but it could do with increased acidity to balance things up. One for cocktails rather than sipping on its own, in my opinion. So a great option for those summer party Kir Royals and knocking up a tasty Buck's Fizz. 2/5
